When men tell women how they should make a living… that’s what is called misogyny.
It’s a really long story that I will probably get into on a podcast or a long form video at some point.
I started doing OF After losing contracts from brands I had long standing relationships with because of different people I was associated with and individuals mass messaging the brands.
At that point, I was making a good living for myself with brand partnerships, and I had to immediately pivot & figure out another source of income.
A lot of my friends had been telling me to do OF as a secondary means of income for a while, even if I was just posting lingerie shoots, which is what I created my brand on Instagram as — disabled body confidence, and being open and accepting of my sexuality as a disabled woman — something I’m passionate about to my core.
At that time, I was going through a time of my life where I was doing a lot of partying and starting to be wild for lack of another word.
Fast forward, I fell in love and unexpectedly got pregnant with our princess.
I uprooted my entire life, decided to move to Chicago to get the best medical care specialists I could to make this pregnancy come to fruition.
And that is just what we did. In the meantime, we received so much hate that it was overwhelming at times. We are not perfect humans, we do not have a perfect relationship, and we are also new parents.
Besides experiencing recovering from a very intense C-section, postpartum depression, and figuring out how to parent, we have been subjected to a mass amount of Internet hate. DCFS reports — saying that we cannot parent because I am disabled and that noah is a drug addict. When the initial calls came in, I spent over $15,000 dollars I didn’t have on a lawyer that did not do too much because I was so scared of losing my child.
Since then, we still have been going through the same thing. Although, we have the parenting thing down. A DCFS person was here yesterday on another report and we have been going through this for the past 13 months. This man on YouTube decided to bring attention to our lives and say that we are exploiting our daughter. (The rest below)
Apparently, this man has harassed several other women that have children and post on social media. And he has brought to attention that I do OF for a living — and that is the reason my daughter is exploited because I promote that on the same platform I post her.
Life is unpredictable and people are full of hate. I know that I am trying my best and I am an imperfect mother, but I love my daughter with every cell in my entire being. And I will fight for her Until the day I die.
